Hi all, We were ranking earlier in yahoo for our site home pages in top 10. Later we had got blacklisted in yahoo for our keywords.When we tried contacting yahoo suggestion board we had got response that using the link programs for getting back links is the voilation of yahoo guidelines. Yes , that's true, we had got back links using some link programs.Now we have removed those anyway.now my question is how yahoo or other search engine recognizes that we had got backlinks using some link softwares? Looking for expert suggestions. Regards, Thomasram.
It depends on the link software but chances are it is because of a footprint on the page that your link shows up on. Often there are things like (powered by...) on the page that gives it away.
Probably because such software submits your site to hundreds of thousands of link farms, which instantly brands your site has junk. ANY seo or internet marketing expert will tell you NEVER use automated software such as those, otherwise you will be punished with being banned.
